Approvals & restrictions

Air transport is a highly regulated business. The Helicopter Society, pilots and the Civil Aviation Authority are working closely to ensure that rules are followed. Helicopter is a very flexible and technically advanced machine that can land practically anywhere.  

To land in Norway you need the landowners written approval. Nobody except the owner himself can issue a landingpermission. By landing on i.e. a public sportsground, it is not sufficient to obtain permission from the sports association unless they also are owners.  In areas outside general properties, like mountains, glaciers forests etc. an additionalpermission is required from the office of environmental affairs in the county in question.  In cities, towns and villages, or where larger groups of people are present, permission from the local police is also required.
